well, 10 days in and so far this 'February is the Month of Activision' has been a bust. they released a new game yesterday but it wasn't an Activision title. one of the interviews quotes:

Quote

Besides Gabriel Knight and Arcanum, can you give us a heads-up on other titles we'll see down the road?

It would not be exciting at all if I would list all the titles here. Let me just say, that we have some really good stuff coming. Something for the RPG fans, quite a lot for the adventure lovers, some strategy games and ... oops ... I am really saying too much. We are starting with the first two titles today, but check us out each week in February, as Feb will be Activision month at GOG.com, and we will be releasing new Activision games every few days.

so I was hoping on have a couple of other titles out there by now

[edit]forgot to link to interview.

They'll come every Thursday. They also do releases on Tuesdays, so it looks like they're continuing to release non-Activision games this month too.

As for the Activision games released so far, yeah, I've been underwhelmed. There are still plenty to go though, and let's not forget there's another big publisher deal to be announced in March apparently.

I guess the guy they interviewed was just shooting his mouth off because over her in the States every Thursday is more than a few days away

I never got to play Phantasmagoria, but people always talked about it. I'm tempted to check it out. But I also tend to get "Adventure game burnout" where I play for a few hours/evenings, and then decide "to heck with it."

From what I've heard, Caesar 3 is fine, if you never played Pharoah or Zeus. If you played those - you will find that Caesar 3 is the early technology of both of those games, and thus is missing some of the nice elements found there. Caesar IV is only about $8 more on Direct2Drive, so I'm not sure if the older one is really worth the money - as far as city builders is concerned.

I may get Call to Power 2. I remember REALLY liking that game (in some ways better than Civ III). I remember they were really "ballsy" for letting you actively pursue Slavery as an viable part of an economy. You could also have bioterrorism, and you could certainly play a "rogue state" in CtP2. I wonder if 1024x768 is the highest resolution available (probably)... would be great if I could set it higher!

I wonder how well RtK will work. I remember it being notoriously hard to run period, needing an enourmous amount of free memory. I recall all kinds of issues trying to load drivers high, find the smallest mouse driver possible, QuarterDeck EMM386, expanded, extended, boot menus, yada yada. In other words, the Good Old Days.

Man that game is so underrated. Everyone got so hung up on the bad puzzle that was famously lampooned on Old Man Murray but the game is quite progressive for the genre and some of the internet-based puzzles are fantastic.

I really liked GK3 as well, and I'd say I liked it as much as the other 2 in the series - with perhaps Sins of the Father being my favorite. I remember a few things 3 had going against it were; many disliked Tim Curry's voice as the main protagonist and many bemoaned the Rennes-les-Chateau setting, which just had about the 10,000th supernatural-templar-UFO-pseudo-history book written about it. I actually thought it all worked well and I liked all of the puzzles in the game. I don't remember the Old Many Murray puzzle though?
